Mini Almond Crescents step by step

  1. Preheat the oven to 160° C..

  2. Mingle marzipan paste, lemon juice, egg white, ground almonds and confectioners sugar using a fork..

  3. Put the planed almonds on a plate and crush with your fingers. Use a tea spoon to part the dough. Wet your fingers and palms - but just a little bit - and form the crescents. The dough is very sticky. Toss the crescents in the crushed almonds..

  4. Put on a baking-plate and bake for 10-12 minutes until they become light brown. They grow a little while baking so make sure there is some space between the crescents on the backing parchment..

  5. When cooled down. Melt the chocolate coating and coat the tips of the almond crescents. Enjoy!.

Add the butter, and mix again until well blended.

Add in the eggs one by one, and process on high speed until creamy and fluffy.
